We will fly into STT in Nov. There will be 2 adults, 3 children, and 6 bags, most bags carry on size. What would the charge be to go to the Charlotte Amalie ferry. We may instead go to the red Hook ferry What would be the charge for each, and how long would each trip take?
Thanks!
Sherry: Go to the list under the blue header at the top of this page and select "St Thomas" then scroll down to "Transportation, Taxi Rates" for those.
In the blue header bar you'll see "Ferry Schedules and that will give you the up to date info you need. Your option of taking the CA ferry will be limited depending upon your arrival time as this service doesn't run as regularly as the Red Hook service. As your arrival; date gets closer, check the schedules again. Cheers!
Hello Sherry,
Taxi rates are per person, by destination.
Airport to CA ferry: $6pp, ow (shared taxi)
Airport to RH ferry: $11 pp, ow (shared taxi)
There aren't any provisions for children in terms of a different or discounted fare.
Bags: A flat rate of $2 per bag shall be added to the fare for each passenger. The rate for items greater than 30"x20" shall not exceed $4 per item.
The taxis at the airport taxi stand will get individuals and groups going in the same direction together in order to fill their vehicle before heading off. This is a shared taxi. If you want a private taxi the rates are: Airport to Red Hook: $90 for 1-4 passengers, (5 or more passengers add $15 for each additional person). Within Town Limits: $55 for 1-4 passengers, (5 or more passengers add $7 for each additional person).
Airport to Charlotte Amalie is abound a 12-15 minute drive, in low/medium traffic.
Airport to Red Hook about 35-40 minutes.
With traffic in town both these drives would take longer. There is usually traffic in town and coming in and out of town in the early am (when folks are going to work/school), lunch time, late afternoon (when folks are getting off of work). It also depends on number of ships in port; more ships means more traffic in town.
